The Heart of Betrayal - Mary E. Pearson

Held captive in the
barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape.
Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told
the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in
Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.

Meanwhile,
nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has
sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate
her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always
believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she
realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing,
her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that
will affect her country... and her own destiny.

I so badly want to read your spoilers, but I won't because then I will be sad. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one though and that it lives up to the first. I'm super excited to finally get to it at some point! =)
